Knock Them on Down


Coming and going,
that's what these people are.
From the tips of their hairs,
to the points of their toes.

Falling. That's what we're all doing,
yelling, screaming, and shrieking even.
Down a painful fall that's yet for us to recover.

Life. What a cruel mistress you are,
with your sisters Destiny and Fate.
But we, the human people,
are just going to knock each other on down.

Down,
down,
down
we're going.
Going to where?

That's what we're yet to know.
Alone? Who said that?
No one said that we're not in this together.
Because we're gonna knock them on down.

For yet, we are to stand up again,
and fall right on down again.

..Edited and thought up on the spot. Review please. (: I hope that it's well liked, as every one else does and would think since it's common sense. ;D Bet you don't know what's the message that I'm trying to get across.

Well well well well. Is this like saying "you knock us down but we will fight back"? So cliche, yet your poem is so original. No no. This is not saying yoj will. This is saying "we all just keep falling over and getting beat up, snap the hell out of it and fight back" right? The only problem i have i why do you say in the first stanza, tips of your toes or whatever. It doesnt fit. Otherwise, this is quite finely put together.
"And when you're out there,
without care, yeah,
I was out of touch!
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough,
I just knew too much."
  








Daddy Long Legs are more closely related to crabs than spiders and somehow the idea of crablike creatures with spider legs that have escaped the entrappings of the primordial sea and now crawl over land and can walk up and down walls and ceilings creeps me more than I can adequately describe.
